Boniface Ohakwe, a 35-year-old ritualist, was arrested by police for allegedly killing his 12-year-old niece, Miss Kelechi Ohakwe.
Stricken with grief a father of the girl, Mr. Alex Ohakwe, narrated what happened on the day of the murder. The children, two daughters and son, moved into his brother's room and were watching a movie in the company of their uncle.
When the man lighted a cigarette and started to smoke two of the children immediately left the room as they can't stand the smell. Kelechi who got used to her uncle’s bad habit made a fatal mistake and stayed in place.
Boniface locked the door and only when the girl started to blubber and scream for help, the mother and other relatives rushed to the scene but it was too late. The girl covered with a bed sheet was lying on the floor and showed no signs of life.
When the man realized that his crime was uncovered he started chasing the Alex's wife with a cutlass but his attempt to harm her failed. The girl's father tears in his eyes said that Kelechi was very fond of his uncle and was always ready to help him.
The family still cannot get used to the idea that it was Kelechi's uncle who killed her for some ritual purposes. The matter was reported to the police and the alleged murderer was handed over to law enforcement agents. The police have not yet confirmed the incident. (Naij.com)
